A charter bus is a large motorcoach designed to carry 40–56 passengers comfortably over long distances. These full-size buses are perfect for transporting big groups to destinations like Empower Field, Coors Field, Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, or even out-of-state trips to Vail or Aspen. Features typically include cushioned reclining seats, onboard restroom, overhead parcel racks, undercarriage luggage bays, power outlets, WiFi, PA system, and flat-screen TVs with DVD players. Brands we offer include MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, and Setra. Charter buses are ideal for moving lots of people safely and efficiently across Colorado and beyond.

A minibus is a smaller, more nimble version of a charter bus, seating anywhere from 15 to 35 passengers. These compact coaches are great for shuttling employees between RTD light rail stations and office parks, taking wedding guests from hotel blocks to ceremony sites, or running short-hop routes around downtown Littleton or Lone Tree. Minibuses usually have cloth or leatherette seats, climate control, overhead storage, and sometimes WiFi or monitors—but no restroom. They’re easy to maneuver, quick to load/unload, and much more comfortable than squeezing into multiple SUVs or rideshares.

Charter buses generally seat 40, 47, 52, or 56 passengers depending on the make and model. The most common size is 56 seats, which is what you’ll find at major operators like MCI (J4500), Prevost (H3-45), and Van Hool (CX45). These buses have five-across seating with a center aisle, plus space for a lavatory and wide entry door. Smaller 40- or 47-seat coaches sacrifice a few rows to add extra legroom, tables, or premium features. If you’re not sure what size you need, tell us your headcount and we’ll recommend the best fit.

Minibuses come in several sizes: 15, 20, 25, 28, 30, or 35 passengers. The smallest ones are similar to airport hotel shuttles, while the largest can almost rival a full-size coach in capacity. Popular models include the Grech Motors GM33 (33 seats), Turtle Top VT3 (28 seats), and Executive Coach Builders E450 (25 seats). Unlike charter buses, minibuses don’t have a bathroom, but they’re perfect for quick trips where comfort and convenience matter more than raw capacity. Let us know your group size and we’ll match you with the right minibus.

Our fleet includes minibuses (15–35 seats), charter buses (40, 47, 52, or 56 seats), party buses (10–40 seats), sprinter vans (10–14 seats), and ADA-accessible vehicles. We work with top manufacturers like MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, Grech Motors, Turtle Top, and Executive Coach Builders to offer the most popular models on the market. Whether you need a 56-passenger coach for a Rockies game or a 20-passenger minibus for a corporate shuttle between Fiddler’s Green and the Tech Center, we have the perfect vehicle for your needs.

We offer buses with every amenity you could want: free WiFi, power outlets/USB ports at every seat, flat-screen TVs with DVD/Blu-ray, Bluetooth sound system, PA/microphone, reclining seats, climate control, onboard restroom, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, LED accent lighting, hardwood floors, and tinted windows. Party buses add perimeter seating, dance pole, wet bar, fiber optic lights, subwoofers, and mirrored ceiling. Sprinter vans can have captain’s chairs, TV, fridge, and USB charging. Tell us what features matter most and we’ll send a bus that checks every box.

Yes, most of our buses have either a 3.5mm AUX input or Bluetooth pairing so you can play your own playlist through the speakers. Just bring your phone, tablet, or laptop loaded with Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube and you’re good to go. Some older models might only have CD/DVD, so if this is critical, please specify when booking. Party buses always have robust audio setups ready for guest DJs and custom mixes. For presentations, we can also provide HDMI/VGA connections to display video content on the monitors.

Charter buses have huge undercarriage bays that can hold 100 cubic feet or more—enough for everyone’s suitcase, duffel, and gear bag. Overhead racks above the seats are perfect for backpacks, coats, and small items. Minibuses have limited rear cargo area and overhead shelf, suitable for daypacks and briefcases but not full-size luggage. Sprinter vans have rear access for several roller bags. If you’re hauling skis, bikes, golf clubs, or oversized equipment, let us know so we can assign a bus with extra storage or tow hitch.

Absolutely! We can provide fully ADA-compliant buses with wheelchair lift, securement stations, wider aisles, grab handles, and accessible restroom. Both charter buses and minibuses are available in accessible configurations. Please inform us of any special mobility requirements at the time of booking so we can reserve an appropriate vehicle. We proudly serve riders of all abilities and believe everyone deserves equal access to safe, reliable transportation.

Yes, you can wrap your charter bus with company branding, sponsor logos, event graphics, or custom artwork. Full wraps cover the entire exterior, while partial wraps or decals can target specific panels. Wrapping requires advance coordination to schedule installation and removal, and there may be additional fees involved. Wrapped buses are popular for political campaigns, product launches, sports teams, and high-visibility promotions. Contact us for specs and templates to ensure your design fits the bus model selected.

You can absolutely request a specific make/model (e.g., MCI J4500, Prevost H3-45, Grech Motors GM33) or color scheme (white, black, silver, custom). While we do our best to accommodate preferences, availability depends on our fleet inventory and existing bookings. If matching a wedding theme or corporate identity is important, please book early and specify your requirements. We’ll confirm the exact vehicle assigned before your trip so there are no surprises.

Charter bus prices typically range from $150 to $300 per hour, $1,200 to $2,500 per day, or $4 to $8 per mile depending on distance, duration, season, and amenities. For example, a 56-passenger bus from Centennial to Red Rocks and back might cost $1,800 total. Multi-day trips to Aspen or Steamboat will be quoted as a package rate. The best way to get an accurate price is to call us with your itinerary and headcount. We’ll give you an instant quote with no hidden fees.

Minibus rentals generally run $125 to $225 per hour, $900 to $1,800 per day, or $3 to $6 per mile. Short local shuttles within Arapahoe County are very affordable, while longer runs to Boulder or Colorado Springs will be priced by mileage. Minibuses cost less than full-size coaches but still deliver excellent comfort and convenience. Ask about special rates for recurring service contracts or off-peak days.

Several variables influence the final cost: type/size of bus, total mileage, number of hours/days, time of year (summer and holidays are peak), pickup/drop-off locations, optional amenities (WiFi, restroom), tolls/parking fees, and lead time. Last-minute bookings may incur a premium, while advance reservations lock in lower rates. Providing a detailed itinerary helps us quote accurately and avoid surprises later. Bundling multiple trips or return legs can also yield discounts.

Your quote covers exclusive use of the bus and driver for the specified hours/miles, fuel, standard amenities, and basic cleaning. It does not include gratuity (customary but optional), meals/lodging for driver on overnight trips, road/bridge tolls, parking permits at venues, or costs arising from excessive mess or damage. We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden charges. Review the contract carefully and ask questions if anything is unclear.

We recommend booking 3 to 6 months ahead for major events (weddings, graduations, festivals) and at least 4 weeks for routine charters. Spring/summer weekends fill up fastest due to concert and sports schedules. For ski season, reserve by September. We can sometimes accommodate requests with only a few days’ notice, but selection may be limited. Early booking guarantees the best choice of vehicles and locks in current rates.

Yes, we provide all types of itineraries: simple one-way transfers (e.g., airport drop-off), same-day round trips (to/from concert), and multi-day charters touring multiple cities. Continuous shuttle loops (hotel to convention center) and split schedules are also possible. Just tell us your agenda and we’ll build a custom package. Discounts apply for extended hires spanning several days or weeks.
